Donor Embryo Program

What is Donor Embryo Program?

This is a process through which an embryo (fertilized egg) is utilized to impregnate a woman, where the eggs involved in fertilization was not extracted from her. However, the sperm involved in the process may or may not be from her husband/male partner.

Some IVF Cycles may produce multiple embryos (fertilized eggs) that are surplus and are not required by the Intended Parents. These embryos can be preserved for future treatment cycles, may be discarded or donated. If the couple whose IVF process has generated these surplus embryos agrees upon donating them, they are preserved and used to get another woman pregnant who opts for donated embryos.

Who needs to opt for donor embryo program?

Couples, where both partners have fertility related issues that are incurable.

Women who have suffered recurrent pregnancy loss due to poor embryo quality

Couples, where both partners have genetic disorders

How is law associated with the donor embryo program?

Both the donor and the recipient can have their lawyers representing them. They should hire someone, who has a good knowledge about the laws regarding the parentage of babies born under the donor program.

Generally, the Intended parents are the legal parents of the baby resulting from the donated embryo and they need to bear all the expenses included in the procedure. Simultaneously, the donor needs to relinquish all claims on the baby resulting from the donated embryo and it will totally depend upon the choice of the Intended Parents whether or not they want to disclose the use of donated embryo to the child in future. Everything, including the compensation offer to the donor if any, must be documented legally to avoid any problem in future.

Success rate of donor embryo program

Using donated embryos doesn’t guarantee pregnancy or live deliveries. The success entirely depends upon the quality of the embryo prior to preservation, the age of the donor and the recipient and the number of eggs transferred.
